Great finds ... yes .. we want pics.
I would never have thought someone could find that many older wheat's in one box.
I bet you are very excited to check the rest of the box ..
I hope you find a key date ... with those dates ... I would be hoping
for a 31 S.

Great finds Eaglefoot! I've debated switching to searching pennies or nickels for awhile as halves are quickly drying up.

I was wondering what happened to that box of coins I lost. Fantastic finds so far. Must have really hit the jackpot with this one. |

Those are just a few "bad pics" of the FIRST group ! I still have 10 rolls left to go through, but I'm battling my wife for computer time, so I'm gonna list my second group of findings ! 1929

1925So.....no "key dates" so far......but it continues to be the best box I've ever had. Once I get done with these last 10 rolls, and the wife goes to bed, I'll do a complete findings update.....and maybe try some better pictures of the better conditioned ones. WOOOOOO HOOOO ! .... (by the way.....I went back to that same bank this morning when they opened and got another box ! ) ...  |

Out of the last 10 rolls I pulled these..... 1929 D
1929
1927 D
1924 S
1923
1920So, by my count, that's 29 "pre-'30" Wheaties from one String & Son box ! (I will update the original list above to consolidate all of my dates found, in the morning) By the way, I did not count any "common date" Wheats that were 1930-1958.I would guess around another 10-15 or so of these "commons". '52 S & '53 S, were two of them. I don't know yet, if any of these are upgrades to either of my two albums or not, but they are all "coin-tubed" and sealed up for now ! .... Dare I hope that my second box contains more of the same ? ....  |
